Odds: 
+2000
Best Finish: Win in 2015
2018 Finish: 3rd
2019 Wins/Top Finishes: There is not one notable finish for Spieth this season.

Jordan Spieth has been playing horrible this season. He hasn’t finished higher than T24 and that came at the WGC-Match Play.

I wrote a post asking if it was time for Spieth to move on from his long-time coach Cameron McCormick because these struggles have been so obvious to everyone watching golf.

With that said, this is Jordan Spieth and this is Augusta and in five appearances he has one win, two ties for second, a third-place finish and only one finish outside the top 10 which was a T11. If you can honestly say that with all that has been going on with his game this season that there is no way Spieth will be able to compete this week at Augusta, a course that he clearly has success on, that’s on you.

While I don’t believe that Spieth will win this year, I honestly can’t say for sure that he won’t.
